A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Dear all, I must admit that - for the very first time in any thread on Audiogon I have participated in - it is much more fun just standing by and watching ....

Oh c'mon D,
You know you're dying to chime in?
High-mass platters anyone?
Cheers

Hi Henry,
won't disappoint you.... ;-) .. it's not high mass or not ..... it is applied physics or not.
This shouldn't be about what we like or not, but what is necessary to achieve a certain result.
We may not always like the path of physic ( can be cruel, expensive, heavy, ugly - extend at wish ..), but physic doesn't care whether we like it or not.
Cheers,
D.

Inshore referred to this information on the MM thread which I thought was very interesting.


Actual Stylus/Cartridge Vibrations Study - Findings By Reed.


Is this a valid study ?

Would the motor/platter/belt resonances not represent a second set of lines on the top diagram clashing with the stylus resonances ?

Opinions ?
